The last episode on @neil_selwyn ‘s education technology society podcast is so on point.

I love that he addresses the insecurity created by dependency and emotional buy-in of corporate platforms.
I also appreciate that he is on the Fediverse so as to avoid these platform lock-ins.

If you get a chance to hear this podcast episode (and I highly recommend you do even if you are not an educator), then may I also recommend you let Prof. Selwyn know here on Mastodon how educational these podcasts are and how interesting the guests are.
